"Really exceptional place to stay. Extremely child friendly, great if you really want to be close to nature.
Highly recommended. Awesome time with the whole family. Cottages were excellent and the whole package is child friendly.
The bonfire was great, Drupkelders was very nice as was Jubilee Creek and the walk to the waterfall. If only the dirt road leading up to the
nature reserve could be fixed up..."
- Francois de Wet, Somerset West, February 2012

after two months of intense schedules and organisation of our wedding. The cottage and its surroundings are beautiful.

and the decent selection of DVDs. Overall experience Much better than expected."

the hammock is wonderful, the cottage is beautiful. Picnic at Jubilee Creek was awesome. We had visits from the baboon family.
Our trip to Drupkelders was steep but worth it all when we reached the rock pools."
- Mbulelo Ngwenya, Johannesburg, January 2012
"We got the holiday we wanted. Away from the crowds but still close enough to everything. We now feel relaxed and ready to face
the new year. Our daughter Erein loved it here, especially outside. There was everything you could require and more.
We would have liked a bigger bed (than a double). We'll be back and will recommend you to all.
So glad we came."

"MORE to Knysna than the lagoon and beaches... experience the Forest at Forest Edge. Friendly, hospitable, tranquil
(not hearing traffic was a great plus), very impressed with the new veggie patch - recommend Forest Edge as EXCELLENT.
Thank you very much for a wonderful stay and experience. Been to Knysna NINE times and never experienced a forest stay.
This was totally magical and relaxing. Jubilee Creek was amazing as well as the hikes. We like the way you operate
Forest Edge by conserving the area and being self-sufficient. We would like to keep this place a secret, but have to
brag about it to our family and friends. See you soon. Namaste."
- Umesh, Jayshree and Diyali Lakha, Johannesburg, January 2012
"Baie dankie aan almal wat so hard gewerk het om seker te maak dat ons tydtjie hier by Forest Edge fantasties was.
Ons het so lekker gebly en definitief ontspan (die hammock het baie gehelp daarmee). Fairy Den is n pragtige huisie en
die naam is definitief gepas, ons het op die wind stil aande die feetjies met hul lantertjies in die woud gesien.
Die vakansie was vir ons nuwe gesinnetjie regtig spesiaal."
- Jan, Jannie en Celente van Vreden, Meyerton, January 2012

around the area. Thanks a million times over!"
- Ronnie and Angie Long, Hout Bay, December 2011
"What a stunning place! The hammock and outdoor shower was awesome. Definitely going to miss the mating calls of the

"Stunning! Just did not spend enough time here. n Week hier is verseker te kort! Ons het so lekker hier gebly
tydens ons wittebrood in die gesellige huisie. Dankie vir die gasvryheid, die bederf, en die moeite wat jy doen om mens tuis te laat voel
en ingelig te hou in so n heerlike rustige atmosfeer. Die 'meditation corner' is n oulike verrassing! Hansie en Grietjie is baie oulik
al moes ons 100m agter julle aanhol die grondpad af :) Die kaggel, dvd's en boeke was n heerlike toevlug op reenerige aande.
Hier is so baie lekker dinge om te doen in die omgewing - ons beveel die volgende beslis aan: Jean se 'in-cottage massage',
Drupkelders - pragtig, Kringe in die Bos stappad - ons het loeries gesien, Millwood tee tuin, Featherbed Cruise met buffet ete.
Ons het heerlik gerus en is jammer om te gaan."

moeite. Ons was vir 10 dae letterlik in die paradys. Weet dat ons elke periode wat ons 'Kringe in die Bos' met ons leerlinge gaan lees,
beslis aan jou en al jou staaltjies gaan dink. Dankie dat jy die natuur so mooi oppas. Mag jy geseen word met baie reen, vrede en voorspoed."
- Arno, Trudi, Marissa en Arno (jr) van Wyk, Nelspruit, December 2011

Baie dankie vir die ongelooflike plekkie. Dit was fantasties om in die natuur te kan wees en
saans op die stoep te luister na die diere geluide. Die buite-stort was 'amazing' en ek sal enige iemand aanraai om dit te probeer.
Ons sal definitief terug kom... awesome honeymoon."

- Rene Langhans, November 2011
"It's so sad leaving this place. We had a beautiful honeymoon and enjoyed it every bit here. Gonna miss the sounds of the forest,
the fireplace and the hammock."
- Mughseen and Nadia Karbelker, November 2011
"Fantastic value for money. Loved the outdoor shower and the experience was brilliant, loved every minute.
Our 20-month old, Juno, loved it here. The hike to the gorge is not easy but worth it and I have now seen swallows in their winter roost.
This is a stunning and peaceful location and at the same time there is plenty to do. Buffalo Beach is a must.
Baboons in the garden! Now that is special. A gem of a find and a place you will find hard to leave when the time comes."
- Sarah Taylor, London, UK, November 2011
"A very special experience and definitely worth a visit!"
- Erik Bruys, Namibia, November 2011

the wonderful swim at Drupkelders, picnic at Jubilee Creek, Walk on Buffalo Bay Beach, the mystery of Noetzie Castles
and an awesome lunch at the Knysna waterfront, followed by a wonderful view from the Knysna Heads. Best of all was to come 'home' to Fairy Den..
have a lovely shower and relax with wine on the stoep. Thanks to everyone who keeps this spot so in tune with nature.
"
- Erika Burger, Durbanville, November 2011
"Volpunte vir puik bestuur! Uitstekend gelee vir voelkykers op die rand van n pragtige digte inheemse woud met lieflike stappaadjies.
n Gerieflike basis vanwaar ons besondere plekke kon verken... Van die bes bestuurde verblyfplekke wat ons nog besoek het, met aandag aan die fynste detail...
Inheemse plante... n toonbeeld van ekologiese selfversorging..."
- Dr Piet en Annatjie Celliers, Stellenbosch, November 2011
"Baie dankie vir n wonderlike tyd hier by jou! Die plekkie is regtig iets wat almal moet beleef.

Ons sal verseker nooit ons wittebrood vergeet nie; dit was baie spesiaal!"
- Liza-Mari and Theo Burger, Potchefstroom, November 2011
"We had a great stay at Forest Edge, thanks to Ronel and her team. It is really a place 'undiscovered' that needs to be visited
to be appreciated. The manner in which the people in Bibbieshoek respect nature puts many of us (town folk) to shame.
Keep up the good spirit of preserving nature."

availability. Our cottage was set up with cosy, homely feel and the champers, flower, pamper basket and petals made our honeymoon
start with romance. Nature all around and exploring the small towns on our drives were unforgettable, esp Bungy Jumping.
An everlasting memory thanx to Forest Edge! To the ladies that serviced our cottage... Every time we returned it felt

geslaag om n balans te tref tussen genoeg geriewe 'creature comforts' en die nabyheid van die bos. Ronel, dankie dat jy ten alle tye
met n egte glimlag reg was om te help - dit was die kersie op die koek! Dit is oor en oor die moeite werd om die stofpad
aan te durf om by julle uit te span."
- Suri Stark, Plumstead, October 2011
"We had such a wonderful time. Most memorable for me was seeing fireflies for the first time. Kristin (8) and Jordan (6) loved
the donkeys and had fun wandering around without us watching over them.
Coming home to an immaculately clean cottage is the best thing ever. Thank you for an awesome time. Lots of love and fireflies..."

- Heidi Steijnberg, October 2011

wonderful and relaxing stay. The donkeys are just gorgeous, the fireflies so romantic! Seeing the first snake of the season was

aware of the beauty that is all around us. A lovely place and special people. The magic of the forest has helped us to slow down
and remember that family is the most important thing to all of us. See you again soon!"
- Riaan, Natalie and Nicholas Klopper, JHB, October 2011

We will come back to this mesmerizing magic. Heartfelt thanks for your true hospitality, impeccable attention to detail (we had everything we could possibly dream of in

with so many reminders of the historical significance of this area. When you stand inside the forest amongst the trees, time stands still and you almost expect to hear a branch
cracking and a 'big foot' to appear under the forest canopy. We desperately needed the peace and tranquility.

"Wat n wonderlike ervaring! Ek het many moons ago
Kringe in die Bos gelees en dit was n totale trip down memory lane
om self
al die plekke in die boek te beleef. Dit was wonderlik om soggens my stiltetyd te hou op die stoep en die
bosgeluide in te drink.
Ons bly tans in die VSA en dit was wonderlik om die
kinders kaalvoet te sien rondhardloop en om saans die vuur te geniet terwyl ons lekker braai hou.
Die ruimte, die rustigheid - n totale blessing. Baie dankie vir n
puik Afrika-ervaring." -
